Bow down Thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O Thou my GOD, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto Thee daily. Rejoice the soul of Thy servant: for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee. (Psalms 86:1-5)

Our GOD hears and answers prayers: The repentant prayer of the sinner for mercy and forgiveness and the heartfelt prayer of the saint for blessing and strength. The sinner must come to GOD and surrender to Him on His terms, trusting in His infinite grace provided on the Cross of Calvary. The saint must understand that everything comes from GOD as He wills and guides. Without Him we are men most miserable, and we can do nothing; with Him all things are possible.

Before we knew GOD, He knew us and formed us for His good pleasure. As His children, He wants what is best for us and wants us to ask it of Him. Salvation for those that are lost, and a firm reliance on Him for those that are His. We are to trust and obey Him and His Word.

With GOD we are saved, sanctified, saints separated for service. Without GOD we are either backsliding believers GOD will chastise, or unbelieving, wayward and wicked souls bound for a devils Hell.

But, GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and a knowledge of the Truth. The Truth that Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. He calls you to believe His Word and be born again, and receive by faith in His finished and perfect work on the cross a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Rejoice in His Salvation today.

In Christ,Jefferson Sweet
